Binding design: The covers of novels in the Qiong Yao era were mostly a combination of a picture of a pure and lovely beauty paired with beautiful things such as the sky, castles, flowers, butterflies, etc. The colors were monotonous and the layout was simple, even for most books There is not even a table of contents, and the copyright page returns directly to the main text. If there are illustrations, they are scrawled and rough, which can hardly meet the appreciation level of modern people. Today's romance novels attach great importance to binding design, especially cover design, which has become a publishing process. There are many books that need to be remade because the cover style is not novel and not in place. The production techniques are also varied. Silver hot stamping, UV, and grinding are all commonly used techniques. In addition to the cover, the catalog, content layout, illustrations, waistbands, etc. all need special design to make the overall feel more in line with the reading needs of modern young people and have higher collection and appreciation value.

Most of the words in each volume are around 100,000 words, which is light and thin. This is especially true for the works from the Xi Juan era. With the advent of reform and opening up, the number of words in each volume is about 100,000. The era of reading is also coming one after another. What readers can accept is simple and direct love descriptions without any foreshadowing. Romance novels are gradually moving into the entertainment era. Romance in the new era needs to consider the needs of more readers. Most readers currently on the market have very mixed tastes and are very picky. Simple romance novels can no longer meet their needs, and simple structures and very few protagonists cannot please them. Therefore, modern romance novels add many factors and need to build a huge system to tell the love and hatred of a group of people. At this time, the author's ability to change scenes, set characters, and enhance the atmosphere has increased a lot, and the number of words must also be More than 200,000 words, even two volumes to express the complete storyline. The open ending gives readers more room for imagination. Fresh elements such as urban, history, martial arts, and time travel are added to enrich the works. Mature writers are beginning to plan their own big productions. .

As Tong Hua said, the source of her creation of "Song in the Clouds" came from a series of personal experiences related to growth, friendship, love, commitment, hypocrisy, and faith in human nature that she had with her female companion during her childhood. Give the work a historical background and add a higher level of emotion of national hatred and family feud, making the characters fuller and the storyline more meaningful.
